Yeah it would be similar to the difference between say Datsyuk and Zetterberg. Z shoots the puck a lot more often, Datsyuk takes higher percentage shots with more danger. When Nyquist does shoot the puck more often than not it is a very dangerous chance, his numbers aren't very inflated and he doesn't miss a whole lot. Have no problem saying Tatar is a more high volume attempt guy, but when you watch both play it doesn't jump out at you that Tatar is a pure sniper and Gus is a pure playmaker. Both see the ice well and both are dangerous shooters and passers, Tatar does force the puck on goal a little more often but I am happy with either guy in a top 6 role. They bring a lot to the table.
We have not seen Tatar with the Wings in two years, he didn't shoot as often at this level, much like Nyquist seems to shoot a little less. That is a part of development and time and space being smaller. Both are going to get 2 or 3 shoots a game when they get comfortable at the NHL level.
